Wacom offers the Wacom Ink SDK for Verification, a software toolkit that organizations integrate into their document systems to automatically verify whether a handwritten electronic signature matches a registered reference, producing an instant accept/reject score in real time.
Details
The verification engine compares a new handwritten e-signature against up to six stored reference signatures, analyzing biometric data including pen position, pressure, inclination, and speed of movement. It generates a similarity score between 0 and 1; the organization's workflow owner sets the acceptance threshold. The SDK is designed for real-time use at the point of signing and does not store signature data after verification, which Wacom states eliminates compliance issues. It is offered as a licensed SDK for integration by third-party solution providers into banking, healthcare, and other document-centric workflows.

Other practices by Wacom
OtherWacom offers Yuify, a service that embeds an invisible digital watermark into artwork files so artists can prove they created a piece and control who uses it. The open beta launched in November 2024 and works as a plugin inside popular image-editing apps including Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint.Data AnalysisWacom tested a proof-of-concept system with the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) that uses AI to analyze handwritten notes created on Wacom tablets, identify the meaning of text and drawings, and automatically surface relevant information from a knowledge base. This was publicly demonstrated in late 2018 and remains part of Wacom's stated vision for its digital ink platform.Data AnalysisWacom developed 'AI Ink for Education,' a research-stage system that uses AI to analyze eye movements and pen stroke data captured while students are writing, in order to identify each student's learning patterns and tailor the educational environment to them. This was developed in cooperation with design engineering firm sdtech, Inc., with joint development announced in May 2021.
